psychotherapy

Psychotherapy with Dr. Denkhaus is a space for you to learn more about yourself, clarify your thoughts and feelings, and articulate what you want and need from yourself and others.

The psychotherapy I provide is considered “psychodynamic” or “psychoanalytic.” This orientation is focused on providing a depthful approach to understanding yourself and how you relate to other significant people and situations in your life. In a therapy session, we may spend time talking about present-day problems, thinking about the future you would like to create or looking to the past to understand how you developed certain ways of being and thinking.

Some areas I can help with:

  • Anxiety

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Chronic perfectionism

  • Inner-criticism and low self-esteem

  • Navigating the world as a highly sensitive person (HSP), empath or neurodivergent

  • Creative blocks

  • Transitions (engagement, marriage, pregnancy, new parenthood)

  • Indecision

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Complicated mother-daughter dynamics

  • Spiritual and existential concerns

  • Individuals and couples navigating the decision to have children

 FAQs

  • My practice is based in San Francisco, and is currently 100% virtual. Our meetings take place online via the confidential and HIPAA-compliant doxy.me platform. Telehealth allows us to enjoy a comfortable and commute-free experience of working together from the location of your choosing. Although I work out of the Bay Area, I am able to provide psychotherapy to any resident of California.

  • I find that people receive the most benefit and can see the most momentum in their lives from weekly or twice weekly therapy meetings.

  • Individual therapy sessions are $225 for a 50-minute “hour.” Couples sessions are $270 and meet for a full 60-minute hour. I also offer extended sessions should you find you need or want more time per meeting.

  • I am considered an “out-of-network” provider. This means you may be able to use your health insurance to cover some of the costs of therapy. I provide all of the paperwork necessary for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

  • I offer several payment options including Health Spending Accounts (HSAs), checks and all major credit cards including Amex.

You don’t need to figure it all out on your own.

Whether you have been in therapy before, or you are contemplating giving it a try for the first time, beginning the process can sometimes feel overwhelming or intimidating. I strive to make getting started as simple and straightforward as possible. Setting up a free introduction call where we can get to know each other a bit is the first step. If we decide to move forward, we will schedule our first online appointment and I’ll send you some electronic paperwork that takes 15-20 minutes to complete. That’s it!
